What the basis means for you

Each adult owes the full amount. A couple owes double the advertised number.

Terms and conditions

Up to 8 months; water, sewer and power. Utah State Parks' own Become a Host page states most parks ask 25 or more hours a week for full hookups — the 20/wk figure we previously showed was Antelope Island specifically, not the statewide norm. The agency also publishes a live per-park availability table listing each park, months needed, utilities (water/sewer/electric), and whether positions are currently full.

Everything on this page comes from the state's own published material or, where marked on the main table, from third-party reporting. We have not verified it first-hand. Terms change between seasons and individual parks set their own variations, so confirm with the park before you commit.

Work out what it's worth

A free site isn't free if it costs you 40 hours a week. Offer Check turns the hours, the site and any cash into an effective hourly rate you can compare against a paid job.
